| Episode 1 - AI v Recipro |
| In the world of eX-Driver cars drive themselves due to the invention of an efficient AI system. People simply tell the computer their desired destination and the car takes them there. The system has been successfully used for such a long time that most people no longer know how to drive cars manually. Yet, the AI system occasionally makes mistakes, sometimes going out of control. The eX-Drivers exist to safely stop such situations. A families car goes out of control on the way to a restaurant. The eX-Drivers, two teenage girls named Lisa and Lorna are called in to stop it. Other AI cars stop and pull over to make way for the eX-Drivers, allowing them to quickly catch up to the runaway vehicle. Next, Lisa and Lorna shoot a substance on the car that disables its GPS. Finally they shoot a liquid over the car’s sensors disabling the AI and forcing the car to stop.
Later that night, the two girls unwind at a club. Lisa complains that there has not been enough excitement lately. When the two leave, they are hit on by a few guys with an illegally modified AI. The guys leave, but their car soon loses control. Once again the eX-Drivers are called to action. During the chase, Lisa spins out and must continue the chase on foot! She uses a scooter to catch up to Lorna who lets her in her car. When the two decide to chase the car until its fuel cell runs out, another mysterious eX-Driver appears in a Super 7! The Super 7 does some fancy driving, including an incredible drift before stopping the car. Excited, Lisa gets out of the car declaring she has finally found her ideal man. However, the driver turns out to be a young boy named Souichi. Lisa is upset to discover that Souichi is not only the new member of the eX-Driver team, but he is in her class at school as well!

Souichi explores the ex-Driver garage looking at all the cars that are available. He chooses to take a small pickup truck for a test run. Meanwhile, Lisa complains about the new member to the boss. Furious, she goes outside to cool off and sees Souichi driving on the track. Taking advantage of a chance to show off, Lisa gets in her car and begins to chase Souichi. However, she is a little overzealous speeding around a turn causing her to spin out into the sand. Losing to Souichi hurts Lisa’s pride, especially after he critiques her driving! Later at school Lisa is surprised to hear that there is a big test the next day, although everyone else knows about it. That night she attempts to study hard and falls asleep. Early the next morning the eX-Drivers are called to stop an out of control truck that happens to be carrying the schools tests! Lisa contemplates not saving the truck until Souichi shows up.

Lorna shows him different ways to drift with the help of her partners. Amazed at her skills Kain interviews Lorna more at the pool. However, now even Souichi agrees with Lisa (a rare occurrence) that the focus on Lorna is unfair. That night Kain approaches Souichi and compliments his driving. He also asks him to mount a tiny camera on the top of his car so he can get first hand footage of his driving abilities. The next day Kain and his workers film a simulation on a highway from a truck. The eX-Drivers quickly use teamwork to stop a car, but then Kain’s truck loses control. Stopping the truck proves to be a challenge as the brake wire must be cut from underneath the viehicle. Lorna rides with Souichi to cut the wires while Lisa pursues from behind. After many close calls, Lorna is able to cut the wire. Yet, as the truck slows it heads towards the edge of a downed bridge. Before the truck can go over the edge Lisa pushes its end around with her car as Souichi wraps a cable from the bridge around the wheel base. This stops and secures the truck.
